Franco Morbidelli (Petronas Yamaha SRT) made it yet more joy for Yamaha, as he was third whilst Valentino Rossi (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) was fifth.
However, on closer analysis, Yamaha dominate the sector times.
The agility of the bike and the less demand for outright top speed makes the Yamaha formidable through this area, with Quartararo on-top for a second sector and some 0.185 quicker than Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team) – the nearest non-Yamaha challenger.
